Recap

Danielle woke up and her head was pounding. She heard a deep grunt from beside her. She turned her head and saw Kahiro. "Kahiro…" she tried to shout out but couldn't. She was too weak to even speak. Her hand gripped onto a small stone and threw it with all her might at the dragon. Kahiro awoke. And blinked at her.

Danielle? Danielle! What… Where are we? Kahiro asked as she looked around. They weren't in the dungeon anymore. In a forest in fact.

Kahiro… I missed you… Did they do anything to you? Danielle asked worriedly.

No, not to me, but oh my… Look at you, little one. Your… Your hurt… What have they done to you?

I'll tell you later. But right now, fly us to Varden… You know where it is… Danielle's voice grew weaker, and she quickly slipped into darkness again. Kahiro stood up and roared into the night sky. She swore that she was going to make whoever was the cause of Danielle's wounds pay.

"Argetlam! Argetlam!" Eragon woke up with a start, he looked at the time, it must have been midnight. He yawned as he slowly got out of bed. "ARGETLAM!" cried out someone from behind his door, knocking loudly. Eragon hurriedly went to open the door only to meet with Orik. He yawned.

"Whadda ya want?" he asked sleepily. Orik was so excited he looked like he was going to jump out of his own skin.

"I have great news!" Orik cried out.

"Is the Varden on fire?" Eragon asked. Orik send him a confused look.

"No, b-"

"Are aliens invading the planet?"

"No, bu-"

Eragon frowned. "Is there a giant earthquake?"

"NO! But-"

"Is Galbatorix coming with a dozen dragons?" Orik send him another puzzled look as if Eragon had gone crazy.

"NO!"

"Then tell me in the morning…" Eragon answered sleepily before he dragged his body to bed. Orik sighed.

"No! We found another dragon rider! They are currently resting outside of Varden!" he exclaimed.

Eragon yawned. "Good for you but as I said… tell me in the morning…" and he plumped himself onto the bed. Then his eyes opened and he shot out of bed. Then Orik counted. 'One, two, three.'

"ANOTHER RIDER?" could be heard echoing down the halls.

Kahiro slumped onto the rock outside of where the location of Varden was. She had been traveling for a week without stopping. She felt weak and feverish. But her will on getting Danielle to safety was strong. For the whole week, Danielle had been having weird seizures while she was unconscious. Kahiro knew it was a matter of time when Danielle wouldn't move at all. So by just pure love and will power, she traveled all the way to Varden, without stopping much, only occasionally for water and a little rest.

She heard a stone moving and several people yelling. She smiled gratefully, knowing she and Danielle were now in safe hands, she slipped into the much welcome darkness.

Murtagh stood up as he heard the commotion outside his cell. He leaned forward and tried to listen carefully. The words. 'Argetlam', 'Silver' and 'Dragon' kept on coming up. 'Danielle?' he thought as he tried to decipher more words, but failed miserably. He sat anxiously in his cell. Hoping more news would come, and come quick.

Eragon gasped as he saw the huge silvery dragon outside of Varden. 'Danielle!' he thought as he rushed towards it. He saw that both the rider and the dragon were unconscious. Danielle, however was in really bad shape. Orik and the twins rushed out to see them. Orik's mouth opened in horror as he saw Danielle's wounds. Saphira! Eragon cried out. Soon, a beat of wings was heard and Saphira appeared. She quickly spotted Kahiro and Danielle.

Eragon! What happened? Saphira asked in alarmed. Kahiro? She asked, shocked.

Eragon ignored the scars and wounds on Danielle as he moved her into his arms. Danielle was in a very, very bad shape. Even worse then Arya was when she was tortured, which made Eragon think how on earth did she get wounded so badly? Saphira! I need you and the twins to try and carry Kahiro into Varden. She looks pretty wounded too. He said as he heaved Danielle in his arms and walked towards the entrance. From the corner of his eye he saw the twins and Saphira trying desperately to carry Kahiro, while trying not to harm her with her scales. (So many 'her's its confusing… lol)

(A Week Later…)

Danielle groaned as she opened her eyes. Her head pounded and she felt weak and tired. Her vision was blurry before it became clear. She looked around and saw she was in a white room, much like a hospital wing. She shifted slightly and hissed when she felt the burning on her back. She gave up and lay back down, just then a woman entered the tent (I'm not going to bother to explain how she looks like, I left my Eragon book at my frenz house… cry). She smiled warmly at Danielle.

"Hi. My name is Angela." The woman said while smiling bubbly. "And you are?" before Danielle could reply. "Oh yeah! Danielle! Eragon mentioned your name earlier." Danielle stared at her with shock. She shot out of bed so fast that multiple of her wounds tore and bled. Danielle winced but ignore the blood and the pain.

"Eragon? He is here? How bout Murtagh? Do you know him? Where are they?" she asked as Angela tried to push her back onto the bed.

"Yes, they are here. But for goodness sakes! Stop moving! Your just going to tear your wounds, plus dirty your clean clothes." Danielle looked down, and realized she was… clean. Her red hair was back to its normal silky and shiny self. While majority of her wounds were gone, but a lot were still there. She had been changed into a long black pants and a black tank top. Simple, but looked good on her. Danielle was pushed back onto the bed, Angela trying to make her fold her shirt back up, to gain access to the wounds.

"Where are they? Am I going to be able to see them?" she asked softly as she watched Angela binding up her newly torn wounds. She looked through a mirror and winced as she looked at her back, it was horrible. But she ignored the pain.

"They should be coming any- Well, to speak of the devil, here they come." Angela said as she stood up, finished binding her wounds again. Danielle stood up slowly, this time careful not to tear opened anymore wounds. Just in time, seven people entered the room. One she recognized as Arya – The elf that Eragon and Murtagh had save. The other two, were Eragon and surprisingly Murtagh who was shackled by the other dwarves, twins. Then there was another dwarf and lastly, a man who stood tall as if he ruled them all (cool, it rhymes XD). Danielle presumed that the man was the king.

"Danielle!" someone gasped out. Danielle whirled around and came face to face with the person she missed the most, Murtagh. Danielle rushed up to him and hugged him, not letting the fact that he was shackled to prevent her.

"Murtagh…" she said softly and pulled back, then she turned her attention to her brother-like figure – Eragon and hugged him, Eragon however, returned the hug. "Eragon…" she said, tears springing into her eyes.

"Danielle." He whispered as he pulled back and looked worriedly at her. "God, what happened to you?" he asked as he scanned her body, scars and bruises were all over, less than at the time he had found her, but still, it was there.

"So I see that all three of you are acquaintances." said another man, Danielle whirled around to face him, she narrowed her eyes at the twin dwarves beside him, they looked suspicious. "My name is Ajihad, the leader of Varden." He said. Danielle stared at him curiously, then she nodded, as if accepting the fact.

"My name is Danielle Rashi, the second rider." she said softly, making a move to bow, only to wince as her wounds hurt her. Ajihad took not of the fact but stayed quiet. "May I know why, firstly is where is Kahiro and secondly, who are those two." Gesturing at the twins.

Ajihad smiled, "Your dragon, who I presume is called Kahiro, is currently resting in the Dragon-Hold with Saphira, she is being taken care for. And for these two, they are my body guards, they have no name, so they are called the twins. The other is Orik, and the elf is Arya." Danielle bowed slightly at Arya.

Ajihad then turned around, "I will allow you three to catch up with each other, after you have fully healed, come meet me." As he gestured to the twins and Orik to follow him. Arya stayed for a moment, examining Danielle, after a nod of approval, she left. Angela quickly followed, leaving Eragon, Murtagh and Danielle in the room alone.

Danielle blinked at them, awkward silence filled the air. She then walked slowly towards Murtagh and placed her hand over his cuffs, the cuffs slowly melted away from existence. She looked up into his eyes. "I don't know what you did, but with me, you have no need to be a prisoner."

"Danielle…" he said softly, looking into her eyes, her once warm luscious brown eyes now had a tint of coldness in it. She turned away and walked towards the window, her long red hair sparkled in the sunlight.

"What happened, Danielle? Why did you leave us?" Eragon spoke up. Danielle whirled around, eyes full of rage and hurt.

"Leave you? Have you ever thought for a moment that I can't leave you guys, I just cant. You are my family. You guys are everything I have. Why would I leave you?" she asked angrily. Eragon and Murtagh stared at her in shock.

"We didn't think you did… But we decided to respect your choices…" Eragon said softly. Danielle's eyes softened.

"I was lost, in between the world and heaven… I was hurt more in my heart then on my body. I gave up hope, because hope just made me weak, making me submit into their wishes." She said softly, turning her back to them, once again staring out at the sky. "I was a prisoner of my own soul, I was living in a nightmare…"

Murtagh felt tears welting into his eyes, but he quickly blinked it away. 'What have they done to you, Danielle?' he thought. They both stared at her tensed back. Waiting for more. But only silence followed. Murtagh and Eragon glanced at each other. After a moment of staring, Eragon nodded and slowly left the room. Leaving the two lone souls in the room.

"What happened Danielle?" he asked. Danielle turned slowly, Murtagh was shocked to see a single tear running down her cheek, every part of her seemed dull and restless now. Danielle said the next to words as if she had said she just went shopping. Murtagh's jaws dropped in surprise and horror.

"I died."
